@M2m : Bubble contacted me and asked me to tell you that something is coming and this should be fixed soon.

For everyone that might be interested, with the nice summer weather that's came back, I have less time to work on the website and decided to open the source on GitHub. Don't hesitate to contribute!

See: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=114649entry2583670 (@msx80 you should add the link to the Mac Bluerender Bundle in the first message. Here's the normal bundle )

I need to built it using real bricks, but so far all axles need to be turning. In the same direction yes. The goal is to have a small cart or vehicle turn itself around (u turn). a central big gear could do it. I'll play around tonight. I tought of having something push the cart around, but since the overall thing is U shaped, the small strait line where a challenge....

I'll start by saying I'm not a technic guru... I'm currently designing something and I have trouble designing a parts using technic gears system. I basically want to be able to turn all 4 axles in this 1/4 circle, all at the same speed if possible. I played with LDD tonight and I found a solution so #1 and #3 are geared up together (see below). I also have an idea how to do #1 and #4 together, but from there, I'm clueless. I attached an LXF file with the above solution if you want to get your hand on what's going on. P2P_HELP.lxf I really like this 1/4 circle shape. I could do with a larger overall radius, but no more than maybe 4 studs larger so this fits with the set of the design... I'll see if I have enough real life parts tomorrow to make a few tests.. Does any technic jedi master here have an idea how I could achieved this? Thanks a lot!

Yup, it's on the todo list. Meanwhile, you can login and save your list. Then you'll be able to edit it (manually remove the missing color and searching + adding the new color to the list).

It's weird. I tested on Windows 7, latest Firefox, and it works fine. But again, I also received word that someone had a similar error on Win7... It's probably something related to drag & drop class (try clicking) or the way your files are managed by windows... did you tried a different browser? Anyway, I update some logic behind the code. You can test it again. You should at least get a different error message. If it still doesn't works, I'll put a classic upload form alternative.

Ok. Which platform (Win7, Win10, Mac, etc.) and browser are your using ? Can you send me an example file (in private if you prefer) ?

Are you sure it's an actual .lxf file and not just a shortcut or [sym]link to it?

Oh, I saw this but for some reason I thought it was only the alien head and not the "normal" yellow ones. I'll have a look, probably I can get a list out of Brickset or Rebrickable APIs. Thanks!

New update! I fined tuned the website so the browser back and forward button can be used to navigate your previous set and bricks searches. You can also share search result link using a new button or copy/paste the dynamic url. For example: http://bricks.bbqsoftwares.com/#set-60072,60075 http://bricks.bbqsoftwares.com/#set-60073 http://bricks.bbqsoftwares.com/#brick-74968,87544,2362,30009 http://bricks.bbqsoftwares.com/#brick-73081 Custom lists can also be renamed now !

I was searching for minifig parts on the Pick a Brick store and Pieces and Bricks / Replacement Parts service website. While Torso and Legs parts are mostly under the same Design ID (for example 73200 and 76382), minifig heads are using a different design ID for each printed face (For example..., See also the Rebrickable page for #21342). The general 3626 part number is used for non-printed parts only on those services. The first few paragraphs of this page explain this problem: http://lego.wikia.co.../LEGO_Questions Is there a list somewhere of all the minifig heads parts listed by TLG Desing ID? I searched everywhere and couldn't find one. Thanks! (P.S.: feel free to me this topic somewhere else if it's not in the right category )

See this post. You'll find a Mac App Bundle and a section "Mac Users" for help on finding the db file: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=114649

Not sure, but it may be that your graphic card / driver doesn't support OpenGL for some reason. I had a similar error when I tried to open it on a Virtual Machine on my Mac since Parallels have trouble with OpenGL for some reason.

You can also have a look at my new tool, Bricks and Pieces Helper. When you upload your LDD file, it will try to find the bricks in your model from the LEGO Bricks and Pieces service. Over time, I found out that if the color you want is not listed on this LEGO service/shop (not available at all. Out of stock bricks usually does exist somewhere), they probably don't exist in real life 80% of the time or it means it's super rare.

Is LDD installed? You can try "/Library/Application Support/LEGO Company/LEGO Digital Designer" (without the ' ~ '). Maybe it's installed for all users on your computer.

Hi there! Been a while! I just pushed a huge update to the Bricks & Pieces helper website! Over 32 edited or new files, 6200 new lines of codes and countless hours later, you can now create custom lists! All you need to do is register with your email and you'll be able to save and edit the bricks list from your LDD model or create your own lists from scratch. Many more new or improved features are also included in this update and many more are coming! Let me know what you think! - Malou

Thanks for the kind words! I fixed the country bug. Thanks for noticing that! While I was in there, I added a cookie so the website will remember your country when you reload the page. I also fixed a small crash with some empty results coming from the official website (notice this while searching for the new parts from today LDD update! :D )

I'll add this to the list ;)

Hi everyone! I updated the site and fixed bricks composed of multiple sub-parts. They should now be matched correctly. Some color mismatch where also fixed and I added sorting the other day for the list generated when you upload an LDD file. I also started working on custom lists. I also worked on sending a list to the Pieces and Bricks site. I have the javascript code necessary to fill a cart, but for some security reason, you obviously can't send javascript from one site to another. Looking for an alternative, I'll keep you posted.

I guess I was too excited to share this with you that I forgot to talk about the limitations . For the multi-parts elements, LDD file separate them in their base elements which numbers are different from the assembled element ID. You can test that using a mini figure for example. I’m working on that ;) Same for multicoloured parts (For example : https://rebrickable.com/parts/73590c03b), matching those multicoloured parts to the Lego website is tricky because they don't use a straightforward color code. Working on those too. The country refer to the same country you select when you're buying from on the customers service website. So if you're from Canada, you select canada to get the Canadian prices. I added a FAQ page on the website with some questions and answers. For the model total, it may be accurate . Tried with a 4000 pieces (I couldn't find bigger) and it seemed to work fine.

Hi! You imported an LDD file? How many peices are there in you model? Are you using Chrome, Safari, internet explorer...?

Hi there! I want to share with you something I worked on for the last couple of weeks. I know most of you use Bricklink to buy pieces, but sometime the bricks you want are actually cheaper or only available on the Bricks & Pieces website. Finding the bricks you want on the official website can be a long and arduous task since every brick must be searched one by one. Bricks & Pieces Helper goal is to help you find the value of you Lego Digital Designer (LDD) model and other bricks on The LEGO Group Bricks and Pieces customer support website. I created this in the form of a website so there's no OS dependency (it even works on mobile!). You can find it here : https://bricks.bbqsoftwares.com This website will help you find the value of you LDD model more quickly and easily by automatically searching for all the bricks and pieces in one simple action. Just upload your model and you’re done! You can also manually search for sets and individual bricks the same way you can find them on the official website, with a little added bonus that you can search for multiples sets or bricks at once using comma separated list. See what bricks and color are available in your country and the cost of the individual bricks. Keep an eye on the changelog since some more feature might be added in the future and the FAQ for the questions you may have and the limitations the tool has. Of course, this website is not sponsored, authorized or endorsed by The LEGO Group ;). Let me know if it's useful for you, have any questions or suggestions! - Malou
